Really? You like the TV series, not the movies, right? William Shatner is Canadian, does that weigh in Star Trek's favor?

103
Forbidden Planet (1956) starring Anne Francis and Canadian actor Leslie Nielsen. The movie was the first to have electronic musical score, it's performed by Bebe and Louis Barron. Commander John Adams (Leslie Nielsen) is sent to a distant planet Altair IV to discover the whereabouts of an earlier mission. The only survivors from the previous expedition was a scientist, his daughter and a robot. The rest of that crew, he discovers, have been killed by a mysterious entity, which comes from an unsuspected origin.

I'm joking, I love the original series. Haven't really watched any of the spinoffs.

The original series is my favorite, followed by TNG.

A.I. Artificial Intelligence (2001) starring Haley Joel Osment, Frances O'Connor, developed by Stanley Kubrik, directed by Steven Spielberg, based on the Brian Aldiss short story "Super-Toys Last All Summer Long." In the future company based in New Jersey builds a special type of robot called Mecha that are program to simulate human behavior. However David is a kind prototype. He is brought to live with a family where the father is an employee of the company that created him. There is a misunderstanding and they decide to take him back to be disassembled. The mother is reluctant to have that happen. So she leaves him in the woods with Teddy his animated bear. He spends the rest of his existence longing to be loved her.

I enjoyed A.I., and it was my first (and only) Steven Spielberg movie. Generational fanaticism aside, are any of his other movies worth watching?

It's a movie that's you know, good and stuff.

TNG is the only series I like.

TNG for me also. I gotta say the ships on DS9 have definitely taken space to an entirely different level.

I haven't seen many of his films either and idk why I'm recommending this to you because you probably won't like it, but the original Jurassic Park was a "great" movie. I think it did a good job of capturing the fascination and wonder of dinosaurs if you can look past all the bull**** that makes big money in Hollywood.

Edit: Also, Hook (just because it's fun). And I've heard good things about The Color Purple and Lincoln, but I've never seen them.

I appreciate the suggestion, though I am not sure I have the stamina to endure JP. For my own larger-than-life reptilian fascination, I'd more readily explore the Shōwa period of classic Godzilla films. (Something I've put off for far too long.)
